Company information

Kudvumisa Foundation is an NGO which has provided access to affordable health care in the Lubombo region of Eswatini (Swaziland) since 2008. Serving a marginalized, isolated and impoverished population, the Foundation has brought compassionate and quality health care to the most under served communities. The health outreach began as a community based service which continues to this day in addition to the Kudvumisa Clinic which now serves as the primary health care center for our communities. We continue to search for sustainability as Kudvumisa Foundation is not supported by local government.
